The pharmaceutical companies in the country mainly manufacture generic drugs by importing raw material from other countries. In context of therapeutic drugs, majority of the demand is to treat diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. However to develop the domestic pharmaceutical sector the government has initiated efforts to streamline the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the industry.
